I found another chud developer who likes to sperg out on Steam.

Some of the older g*mers here might remember a certain walking simulator game called Only If.

Here's Jim Sterling's old playthrough of the game.

The best thing I can say about the game is that at one point, one of the characters drops a soft R. Otherwise, it's average in every regard.

It's still free on Steam though. So whatever

The game's developer, Tarek Ghandour, also known as FromFame or River, then went on to release another free game called OLDTV before leaving the industry.

Until the year of our lord 2021.

Then he returned and decided to release a DLC he had planned for OLDTV as a fully-fledged paid game.

That game is called BACK OF SPACE, and it's out on Steam early access.

Even though the game has a "Very Positive" rating on Steam, some of the more recent reviews have taken issue with the opinions the developer has expressed in public. You see, it appears that the developer went full chud in recent years.

Here's what I found on his Groomercord:

Apparently, the guy whose music he was using is a little woke b-word or something

And you get the gist of it. Here's the link to his Groomercord so you can get more of this.

Here are the reviews that some of the more sensitive folk on Steam left for this game:

game is good

with that being said

As you can see on the rest of the reviews, the developer constantly complains about "woke" agenda, offends trans people with no reason at all and on his groomercord on the pronouns page he says "my pronouns are available as a pdf file" Terrible human being, thank god I got it for free.

Our hero, not being one to take this lying down, replies with:

Can you be a little more honest for frick's sake?

"I inserted myself into the Dev's personal life, twice, & dm'd him demanding he removes a joke on his personal groomercord bio, he said no and to leave him alone, so I swore at him, and came here to call him a terrible human and leave a "game review" that has "nothing to do with the game" all because he doesn't share my political opinions on groomercord"

Another reviewer says:

I used to think the game is cool (and visually it does), but the dev behind this game "River" is an extremely hateful person. They spam bigoted, anti-trans and anti-gay stuff in their groomercord announcements and will insult people for seemingly no reason. While this game is good, I think the Dev should consider selling the IP before they put propaganda in their game.

River replies to this with:

another "you're not allowed to have different opinions on social media" review, instead of a reviewing the product.

1. We foster civil debate on the server, show me where i "insult someone in particular" and then show me how "it's for no reason"

2. How is sharing evidence of the critical issues surrounding important political matter "spamming bigotted anti-trans anti-gay". Our mod is literarily trans and I was gay in my teens. Read the studies I share before making baseless claims. None of my trans or gay friends identify with the political vehicle that is the LGBTQ, and that's okay.

3. No I won't be selling my IP you have no idea what you're on about and spewing nonsense. I am driven by evidence while you seem to be driven by utter tribalism. Have a civil exchange with me on the server if you'd like to understand what the criticism and evidence being shared is about.

This one made me chuckle:

dev is a trans and homophobe as well as racist

Oh wow, a trans homophobe. You don't see one of those every day.

The dev responds:

And sexist*

And, lastly, let's finish with this one:

https://steamcommunity.com/id/IDRIVECARBEEPBEEP/recommended/714590/

Great game, but effectively abandoned while barely being 10% of the way complete, dev is also a colossal turbo virgin that would rather cry about trans people on a daily basis than work on the game (refer to the reddit handle /u/FromFame for more information).

Just hand the game over to literally anybody else FromFame, you and your clown show certainly won't be finishing this ♥♥♥♥ any time soon.

dev responds:

bet

The woketards are being whiny as usual, however, the dev does come up as a bit of an butthole tbh. He seemed to have deleted his Reddit account, so I can't really say for sure what he said on Reddit, but he has a YouTube channel under the same handle, where, at one point, he randomly calls BigFryTV fricking stupid at the end for his take on Unity charging per installs. Even though he admits that Unity was not clear enough about their policy:

So yeah, it's a relatively small drama, but hey, it's not like I have anything better to do than post about obscure chimpouts on Steam, so there you have it.
